The defeat and elimination of the Barcelona Club Football in the Champions Semifinal Before Inter Milan, it has not been unnoticed in a Real Madrid in which optimism has grown up Face the match that will measure Catalans and meringues next Sunday at 4:15 p.m. at the Lluís Companys stadium in Barcelona. In the white costumes, the belief that this defeat will be encouraged to Hansi Flack, something that whites can take advantage of, which imperiously need victory to continue having options to conquer the league title on May 25, date of completion of the championship, will be extended.
Mood and physical demand
The cruelty with which the elimination and physical demand occurred From the shock back to Interwith an extension that adds to all the games that Barcelonistas carry on their legs, They have triggered optimism in Madrid ranks. Carlo Ancelotti had already warned, before the game was played at the Giuseppe Meazza, that what happened in the Champions League could condition Montjuic's encounter on Sunday. And the result and the way in which the outcome has occurred play in favor of Madrid players for this week's classic.
Carletto spoke with his players to the conclusion of the Copa del Rey final at the La Cartuja stadium in Seville. He told them that doing things as they had done that night was sure that the three Montjuic points would take this Sunday. An optimism argued in the sober game made by the whites, tracing an initial goal of the Culés and reaching the final stretch of the game ahead. The last goal of Ferran Torres, in a play that had an unexpected error in the departure of Thibaut Courtois, led them to the extension, where they lost the final.
However, after the two goals embedded in the League match at the Bernabéu and in the Super Cup final, Real Madrid was stronger in defense. Ancelotti bet again on a 4-4-2 that gives more robustness to the team in the midfield, recovering the slate last season And leaving only Mbappé and Vinícius, to which Jude Bellingham joined from behind. That drawing allowed them to overcome the game and control the Barca attackers, which he deactivated with aid and denying Pedri, Jong and Company possession.
This defeat in Milan has also served so that the white costumes reaffirm something that has spoken a lot these days in Valdebebas: the defensive weakness of those of Flick. The seven goals embedded in both games against Inter, the three he received from Celta in Montjuic a couple of days ago, and the two who scored whites in the Cartuja, have led the Madrid players to focus on the Barca defensive deficit. Barça has conceded eleven goals in four of the last five games he has played, What evidences that fragility behind Real Madrid expects to make profitable on Sunday.
The eleven of Montjuic
Ancelotti does not have much maneuvering margin with the lesions of the team, but it is gradually outlining an eleven in which everything indicates that it will be Ahead of Courtois a rear formed by Lucas Vázquez, Asencio, Tchouameni and Fran Garcíahaving Carvajal, Alaba, Militao, Rudiger and Mendy injured. ANDn the media would play with four players that would be Valverde, Ceballos, Arda Guler and Bellingham, while Mbappé and Vinícius would remain above. Waiting for his moment on the bench players such as Brahim, Modric, Rodrygo or Endrick.
